"It's because of you!" Eiji would scream and kick me as I lay on the ground, bruises all over me.
He cried as he swung his leg into my stomach.

I don't reply.
I don't comfort him.
I don't give him closure.
He doesn't deserve any of these.

The emotional mess crying on the ground doesn't deserve to live.

It's compromising my survival.
I didn't know that he was just sad.
I didn't know he didn't actually want to kill me.

I fought back.
He was weak from her tears.
Now I kicked him.
He grunted and more tears flowed out of his eyes each time I kicked.

Faster and faster I kicked.
I felt my heart beating faster as I saw him coughing up blood.

I didn't feel the frost right now.
I felt...
Alive.
